Sad to say, this is no hoax this time. Liam passed away in a Cork City hospital in Ireland at 1pm GMT today Friday 4th December 2009. His legend will live on through his music, writings and films. He is survived by his wife Kim, sons Eben and Dónal and a son in New York, whose name I don't know, daughters Áine, Siobhán and Fiona and his 7 grandchildren. RIP
